However, E! News talked to some of the stars of the series, who dished about what fans can expect from the upcoming season.

"There are a few potential suitors, there's two main ones," Michelle Dockery told us of Lady Mary's love life. "The new boys coming into the show, they're brave because I'm cursed. Mary is cursed isn't she? Because they all die."

She also squashed any rumors on a romance brewing between Mary and Branson (Allen Leech), saying, "All this speculation about Branson and Mary is just so inappropriate, he's my brother-in-law!"

The PBS series, returning to TV on Jan. 5, received 12 Emmy nominations in July, including Outstanding Drama Series.
